**Giveaway** Whisper of Love by Melissa Foster **Review**

For the first time in years, Nash wants to let a woman into his world,

but while his loss made him stronger, that strength came at a price.

WHISPER OF LOVE

The Bradens - Peaceful Harbor, MD #5

Melissa Foster

Releasing Feb 22, 2017

World Literary Press

Tempest Braden adores her family and her small hometown, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be confining. At almost thirty, having watched most of her siblings find true love, she’s anxious to experience her own happily ever after, and the move to Pleasant Hill, Maryland, is just the change she needs. When she rents a room from ruggedly handsome, and closed-off, artist Nash Morgan and his adorable son, Phillip, she thinks she’s found a little slice of heaven on the outskirts of town, where she can concentrate on building her business. That is, if she can ignore the undeniable heat between her and the sinfully hot single father.

When Nash bought his farmette, he had one goal in mind—to provide a loving, stable home for his son. He never imagined he’d be raising Phillip alone, or renting out a room to keep their heads above water. Then again, he never imagined losing his brother, or spending two years sailing around the world with parents who seemed to forget one son was still alive.

Sparks fly from the moment Tempest moves in, and her positive energy and inquisitive nature brings new life into Nash and Phillip’s quiet, confined world. For the first time in years, Nash wants to let a woman into his world, but while his loss made him stronger, that strength came at a price, leaving him walled off and wary of opening his heart again.

Even though I am not a huge fan of romantic reads (they can be sprinkled in there, but not be the main reason for the story - that I have to be in the mood for). However, this read was fun, light and easy, yet captivating! I can see from this book why so many people enjoy her books. Tempest is a woman I think all of us women could be friends with. Full of ambition, a beautiful heart, and loving. Though this book was light and fun, it was definitely sexy too! The evolvement of Tempest and Nash's relationship sure is a whirlwind of steaminess and sweetness..it was good progression that wasn't fast in it's growth. I liked how the author wrote their relationship in a progression that was realistic and fun to follow. It didn't feel as though it was a rush to the intimate scenes. All in all, a good read!

Excerpt:

The
setting sun caught her hair, highlighting several different shades of
blond in long, cascading layers that hung to the middle of her back. Her
nose was slightly upturned, and she had a cute, rounded chin. He’d
never seen such natural beauty.

She smiled and tilted her head. “Nash?”

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he forced his legs to carry him forward. “Yes. Tempest?”

She met him halfway up the hill. “Thanks for seeing me so quickly.” She peered into the buckets. “I hope I’m not interrupting.”

“Evening
routine. Did you have any trouble finding us?” She was even more
beautiful up close. Her hair was tousled, as if she hadn’t brushed it
all day, and her eyes were so light blue, they had starbursts of white
around the pupils, sparkling like diamonds. It had been a long time
since any woman had caught Nash’s interest, and he reminded himself to
rein in that attraction. The last thing he needed were complications in
Phillip’s life. Even for a girl with the most spectacular blue eyes he’d
ever seen.

“No.
Your directions were perfect.” She smiled at Phillip, and when she
spoke again her voice was soft as a summer’s breeze. “What’s your name,
cutie pie?”

When she turned that smile on Nash, his entire body heated up. As a sea lover, he knew the word tempest meant
a violent storm. It was obvious what type of unexpected storm this
sweet-natured, soft-spoken beauty could cause, and he couldn’t afford to
be caught in a squall.

“My son’s name is Phillip.” He said it faster than he’d meant to, and realized his son’s name came out sounding like Flip. He’d also said it harsher than he’d intended. Reeling in his attraction was going to make him look like an asshole.

“Then Flip it is.”
